Effect of Different Additives on Separation Performance of Flat Sheet PVDF Membrane Contactor
Authors
Abstract:
This paper investigates effects of different additives on morphology and subsequently, separation performance of asymmetric flat sheet Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes to separate CO2 using membrane contractor. Five different additives from different chemical families including Lithium chloride (salt), Polyethylene glycol 400 (polymer), glycerol (weak anti-solvents), methanol (alcohols) and acetic acid (weak secondary solvents) were used for controlling the morphology of the fabricated membranes. The fabricated PVDF membranes were applied to separate CO2 from a gas mixture of (20/80 wt/wt) CO2/N2 by contacting with (20/80 wt/wt) Monoethanolamine/H2O as absorbent. The investigations revealed that among the all considered additives, glycerol has the most promising effect on the performance of CO2 separation from the feed gas mixture. Effects of operational parameters such as flow rate and temperature of absorbents on the separation performance were also studied. Investigations showed that the lowest level of temperature (30 ºC) and the highest level of the flow rate of absorbent (500 ) provide better separation performance. Additionally, the presence of glycerol increased absorption performance (η) from 0.63 to 0.78 (at the lowest level of flow rate) and from 0.79 to 0.91 (at the highest level of flow rate) compared to the bare PVDF membranes.

comIn the present study, CO2 removal from natural gas stream has been studied using a flat sheet membrane contactor. A three dimensional mathematical model is developed to describe the process. The model considers the transport of a gas mixture containing carbon dioxide and methane through a flat sheet membrane contactor module. The model is based on the non-wetted mode of operation, in which t...

Gas-liquid membrane contactors offer several practical advantages including high surface area per unit volume; independent control of gas and liquid velocities without any flooding, loading, weeping, or foaming, pre-determined gas–liquid interfacial area, membrane modules, capability of linear scale-up; low corrosion problems, and low operation and capital costs. Two common types of membrane co...
